Baghdad Burning is back.

Baghdad Burning is blogged by an eloquent Iraqi woman living in Baghdad who writes in perfect English. She was offline for six weeks, and I was worried about her. However she’s back, saying the heat and a death in the family had kept her away.

It’s over 110 every day now in Baghdad. On a good day, the power stays on for twelve hours; on a bad day, only eight.

Cemeteries are overflowing, medical care is scarce, and everyone knows someone who has been abducted.
